Hoped our lives would not replay its horizons: Forever rolling back into itself, Forever caught between conflicts It never resolves, Caught between unmade decisions And murky emotions, Caught dancing To bittersweet mixed tapes. I step into its waters, Hope for enveloping embraces That wash worries away.

Instead, Jelly fish stings Kiss bare skin,

And I lay seething, Memory heavy on my limbs.

If I could stay Watching bewildered waves Siren laugh at inconsistencies, Accept paradoxes with ease,

Perhaps wisdom would dawn upon me, Seagull plummet towards my fish basin chest, Tell me that love should never lead to regret.
